Hilarious honestly the lack of self awareness

I agree with you too, for me the thing that stood out was the person trying to explain why the girls were taken out of a lesson with a male teacher. Iā€™ve had explicitly and covert racist and sexist teachers in mixed gender and ā€multiculturalā€ schools that seem worse than what happened here like forcing kids to do mock communion and threaten to get kicked out if you didnā€™t do Christmas carols in year 7 at a church. Itā€™s Britain, not Muslims that makes this normal and Sue just took it to be race

@qayesha : Listen again, because to me, it sounds like youā€™re a Sue. And I hope youā€™re not that petty and bitter, for your sake

Yeah I agree especially at the comment from the head that the girls class being taken out was normal. It definitely wasnā€™t. I do agree that itā€™s normal to separate classes in the UK especially when it comes to sports past age 11, but I have had single classes with teachers of different gender and they just seemed to accept the narrative. Iā€™ve also had teachers specifically make focuses on teaching white kids and males above females and people of colour in a regular academy school. Systemic

Absolutely amazing. I benefitted from beginning to end. Gives hope to those involved in journalism that the truth can come out no matter how many people try to keep it quiet. I gained a much deeper understanding of what this upsetting incident really did for everyone in UK and how we need to be united in standing up for the truth regardless of the obstacles that come our way

Enjoying the show, except Hamza need to learn to speak slowly. Had to rewind a few times to understand the sentences.

I really appreciate the transparency & the tenacity of this investigative report. Itā€™s hopeful to me that journalism still exists.

Isnā€™t every human being capable of ā€pre-violenceā€? A rhetorical question, of course. Itā€™s a strange concept.

Welcome back to another series from serial, where, after spending unthinkable amounts of Breim energy, nothing resolves... šŸ˜­. Itā€™s very good journalism though! Amazing sub plot of journalism 101. I loved it, but man... Sure wish there could be an serial series where something actually resolved.

I need more Hamza & Brian!!! I hope all educators (and everyone else!) listens. I certainly found it interesting, as an ex-teacher in a Birmingham school with a Headmaster who made a name for himself out of attaching himself to the Trojan Horse ā€™scandalā€™, unsurprisingly on the wrong side of the truth. Ahmed is right - the truth will out!!! ā¤

I started listening with an open mind ..shocked on places, particularly about Gove/ gvmt response. But think the presenters have not been able to appreciate living as a women in this country, or the world, has its restrictions...it sounds like within this school regime it was far worse... worrying journalism. I wish a woman had undertaken this report, perhaps less acceptance that itā€™s okay for girls to have to suffer lack of opportunity and equality least... disappointed
